The final phase of demolition works to St Anne’s Road bridge will require two full weekend closures to a section of the M67 this Autumn on 7th October to 11th November 2024.
Work to demolish the eastern side of the bridge was completed in August 2023 and since then, all necessary cabling has been diverted through two newly installed steel beams which ensure essential services remain on during the final demolition phases.
These will take place in October and November 2024 and include removing the bridge deck, followed by the top section of supportive structures at either side of the bridge.
For the safety of road users and workforce, National Highways will be closing the M67 between junction 1a at Denton and junction 3 at Hyde.
Closures
The closures will be in place from:
- 9pm Friday 4 to 5am Monday 7 October 2024
- 9pm Friday 8 to 5am Monday 11 November 2024
Diversions
- Road users travelling between Manchester (M60) and the A57 Snake Pass, A628 and the east of England should follow signed diversion routes between Mottram in Longdendale and Denton Island, junction 24 of the M60.
- Local traffic in Hyde and Denton should follow the signed diversion on the A57 Hyde Road / Manchester Road.
